We are all living in a same sphere called "Earth" with the world population of 7, 000, 000, 000 people...which means that the 7, 000, 000, 000 of us need to share a LOT of things together in order to live....Being the only child for almost 20 years now, I did not have to share most of the things with other people...I did not have to share my clothes, cosmetics, room or even love....I was happy that I don't need to share my personal things with others...It was such a bliss....
When I started my college life, I was exposed to a living style that requires me to share most things with others...I had to share the room with 2 other people, bathroom with 11 people & etc..I can't say it was easy for me to adapt at first..I used to cry at night as I was not used to living in a house with so many people...Only God knows how noisy & irritating it is sometimes...
I missed my life back at my hometown which is quiet (well,most of the time) & full of privacy...

However, I soon learnt that sharing is not all bad after all....When my skies was hot & sunny, filled with summer joys, I had 12 housemates to share them with...When my skies was covered with dark clouds, I too had 7 close friends (only trustable ones) to share them with...When I had to run & hide from all my sorrows, they are the one who convinced me to stand up & keep fighting...I learnt to share my thoughts and feelings with them...It is something which an only child like me, has difficulties to do...
Sharing friends is common in ones live..We can't expect our friends to only befriend us & ignore the society..If that is the case, we might start losing all our friends in the process...Sometimes, sharing friends may help us in a positive way no one could expect..Friendship & sharing go hand-in-hand...When there is friendship, sharing automatically follows..The more u share the more your friendship becomes intimate...Sharing is the spice of friendship...
Most of the time, people do not have problems in sharing friends....Their biggest problem is to share love...Let's admit it....It is human nature to be jealous and dislike that their love have to be shared with others....Even siblings can be jealous with each other when family members paid more attention to another...I learnt a lot of things in sharing...But I have to confess that I still can't share my love with others...For instance, when my loved ones praise others, I still have this funny feeling in my heart that kinda ache...It may be selfish, but that's the limit of my sharing...Frankly, who can share their partner with some other people??If they have a choice, I don't think that anyone could do that...Human can't help feeling that way and so do I..Therefore, I believe such things is normal in lives....
I eventually adapted being among & living with a house full of people of all races, ages & behaviours...We learnt to accept each other the way we are, both our strengths & weaknessess....During my high school, my close friends were all Chinese & Indians...But it is totally opposite during my years in college...I learnt to adapt to a Malay community and I changed a lot just to fit in & not being gossiped...Fortunately, I found a few friends who love me & accept me for who I am eventhough we were brought up in a different community and different lifestyle..

From my personal experiences, I believed that sharing has its importance in lives...Our lives are meant to be full of joy & fulfillment, not pain & suffering..The more we share & give of ourselves, the more fulfilled our lives will become...Although sharing has got its limits, sharing is an act of caring...Give it a thought...=)
